Santa Fe graduate to lay wreath at Arlington National Cemetery in honor of shooting victims

SANTA FE, Texas (KTRK) -- Devin Belloumini was serving his country when he first learned of the school shooting at his alma mater in Santa Fe.

Belloumini's sister Taylor, a junior at Santa Fe High School, was inside during the mass shooting.

"I had no idea if she was OK or not. It was very shocking for me to hear," Belloumini said.

Devin talked to Eyewitness News on Memorial Day. The former Indians basketball player graduated in 2015 and joined the Air Force.

"Memorial Day to me is a day to remember the fallen. Remember all the heroes who have sacrificed pretty much everything for our country. Whether they gave a little or their life, everyone gave something," said Belloumini

As part of the Air Force Honor Guard, he is assigned to jobs at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider at Arlington National Cemetery.
